That's what this story is.
I would guess in the end Rarity's soul was the larger of the two in "will". Maybe because Rarity was already destined to be the Element of Harmony? Either that or Rarity and Pupa were close enough in personalities that Pupa just merged into Rarity and since Changelings arn't likely to have a true internal identity aside from Pupa feeling of being a Princess that she just became Rarity in a sense.
beautiful and sad
>>718001 Did it occur to you that maybe it's because he's an AMAZING writer that he BECAME a mod? His fics were already popular before he became a mod. (Not saying it might be a contributing factor as to how many people read it, but it's not like he was a mod before The Empty Room OR The Sweetie Chronicles. Just sayin.)
It's magic, He don't gotta explain shit.
WD's fanfics wouldn't be good if he "explained" everything with "It's magic, I don't have to explain shit." 
Also it was probably because she was inside the carriage if anything.
So? In the beginning of the fanfic she was inside the palace and she almost got squashed on the walls. What stopped her from being squashed against the walls in the train?
>>718772 Also, going by the episode, the shield probably wasn't changeling specific. (edit: or for a sillier answer, maybe Rarity doesn't register as a full changeling since she's a combined soul or something) edit2: >>718804 Maybe it was simply a barrier shield (think the shield the CMC ran into around the Library) with designated checkpoints.... dunno where you're getting the deadliness of it to be honest.
(probably edit in actual comments in later)
snif it´s raining >>718817 When was I hating? Please, do tell. I never said that the fanfic was bad. I never said that WD is an idiot. I never said that this is a plothole. I said that I had a criticism to make, and I did just that. WD doesn't need you to be his white knight. In fact, I'm done trying to "discuss" this with you. I'm not going to turn WD's comments into a war just because you think that I'm a hater just because I found a possible plothole. My question to him is asked. Be happy that you didn't need my help in making a fool out of yourself.
>>718824 See? This could've been avoided if you were to hold your judgment against me. But still, Trevor, I'd rather hear it from WD's writing. But take comfort in the fact that I won't be replying to any of his comments (he blatantly stated that he's a troll... IDK why I even lost my time).
>>718841 Trevor's right 
My view on it is that the original spell was designed to keep enemies out. Let's say that Shining Armor's specialty in casting shields extends from the general to the specific. When they were not aware of the nature of the threat, the spell would repel anything that had negative/hostile intentions to the well-being of Canterlot. When Cadence and Shining Armor cast the spell together, he knows exactly what to focus it on.
>>718793 You know me too well
>>718836 Hey no need for aggression! I'm just glad you all seem to have really enjoyed the story! 
>>718602 I might but those go in the back-burner for now... I need to concentrate on Sweetie, Moon's Twilight and write some Lyra's Quest before that. Not to mention the oft-neglected A New World which you should all totally read.
>>718338 I think it's best to let everyone view it their way than declaring a final and absolute choice, right? In my mind, they both grew up loved and happy, which is what counts!
>>718001 I'd... personally like to think that the story made it to be featured due to its own merits rather than my standing on the page...
>>717935 Because... witches.
>>717217 Eeyup, again thanks for pointing it out. It was embarrassing. 
>>718887 Hey, that's okay. Did you have a particular reason for which you actually did not like it at all? Just curious. But anyway, to each their own.
Eh, just pulled up the part of the episode where they first enter Canterlot. There is a distinct distortion in the shield before the train passes through it, possibly signifying a reduction in strength to allow things through. Combined with the fact that there was a significant number of royal guards at the station as they got off the train seems to indicate that the train was a viable method for changlings to enter the shield. Add in the whole soul of a pony fused together bit and there isn't as much of a plot hole as some seem to think. 
Wha... Perfection.
This story was amazing. Please understand that before I go any further. This story, this backstory, this tale, whatever you call it was phenomenal. It has little to no grammatical errors, and no story holes, it was easy to follow, ect...
And yet.... It doesn't fit. Rarity's Cutie Mark story was fine and finished the way it's left in the show. Everything was in character, but the idea of three queens, the idea of Rarity being part changeling, and the personalities of Pupa, the queen, and Cocoon seemed forced. It seemed like you were putting more frosting on an already-perfect cupcake. This won't be a part of my own personal headcanon, but again, incredible story.
And that's my two bits.
-The Librarian
Build on it perhaps? 
Excellent story. You really worked on my heartstrings, man. 
It also explains why Rarity was so good at flying during the Young Flyer's Competition.
But it seems that Rarity or Pupa/Rarity's story may not be over. I'd like to see if Celestia finds the site and dig up the bodies so they can have a proper funeral.
But that may or may not happen.
I could see a series spawning out of this... Also!
This story is full of win.
